Luke 2:7 School of the Incarnation Mission Statement The School of the Incarnation embraces an inter-parish community of children with differing gifts. Through collaboration amongst the faculty, parents and other professionals, the School seeks to challenge and support a diversity of learning styles and needs and to nurture a spiritual, intellectual, physical, social and emotional wholeness in its students.
